What is Search and Rescue?

Currently, 197 people die every day in the US from an accidental drug overdose.¹ Our nation is suffering from a public health crisis and prescribers can be part of the solution. Brought to you by the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, Search and Rescue is a prescriber education campaign operating on a grant from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)* with the sole purpose of providing healthcare professionals with the tools and resources they need to help patients with prescription drug misuse, abuse, and addiction.
